I'm running trd blues and 6.5kg springs in the rear and when ever i accelerate hard around a corner it hops. Also when i rip one it does it aswell? does anyone know what the deal is with that?? is it just old bushings or something else?? let me know thanks

mmm reminds me of the days when i had to remove my tramp rods (cops) off my old car that had 1 leaf spring removed.
Anyway, a less likley reason could be a rear wheel(s) in need of a balance.
The possible problems mentioned above would most liekly be the main offender, but unbalanced wheel when putting into a spin can set off the first harmonic of tramping.

6.5kg is very stiff, so you will have to adjust the shocks up hard also.

have you checked how far the bump stops are off the diff?. May be touching on hard cornering

I had a similar problem and found that chopping 1 section off the bump stops worked well. This was when cornering hard without losing traction, so wasn't tramp.
I also tried several different shocks to find the right setup, revalved konis (reds with stiffer valving), TRD blues and monroe (holden HT or whatever)... konis were the best but the TRDs weren't too bad either, but springs were non-captive with them :(
